Hunting season statistics

Two items from NY State Conservation Advisory Fund minutes, November
2004:

There are currently 630,000 deer hunters in New York
State with an average age of 49.

94% are male, have hunted 22 years and killed 10 deer.

NY is the only state that doesn't allow kids under 16 to hunt deer.

The number of licenses sold overall was down by 500,000 from 1.5 million
the previous year.

The Conservation Fund is projected to be in the red again in a couple of
years.

This year, the regular gun season for deer (in the southern zone) will
start on SATURDAY November 19 as we allowed the legislature to pass a bill
allowing the start of hunting season on the third Saturday. The regular gun
season is now 23 days long.
